The Wobble

steady now muldoon

the lonely in you slides pitches perilously

from side to side 

it is an endless wave rolling across

an endlessly troubled sea 

enter this place with its slick decks with warning

untethered desperately unsure you search

to find your footing

the dark waters are faithless

deprived of moonlight you are at its blackest

and the between in you is as elusive 

as it can ever be ever

save your mistakes for another day 

today you must be perfection 

a king of nothing

but master of the wobble

whatever it may choose

to be
